Book comparisons would spoil some of the major plot points. You see the events around Momo’s hospital stay from a mile out, but no, there’s still an eerie/sinister twist, and I’m here contemplating what makes us human.

…the film isn’t about the naked body but is rather how fashion is used to conceal the body.
